Just Sayin'

So the other night I caught the very end of the Miss America pagent. I just have to say how disgusted I was. I guess this year they had a new part of the pagent with racey photos. Basically with the girls posing in their bra and panties in a seductive manner. I never saw any of the pictures, but one of the interview questions was how the participants felt about this new part of the pagent because they had gotten alot of flack from the media. Of course the bimbo answered something to the fact that she loved them and thought it was so fun and a good way to show her sexuality and feel sexy. pffff

I just sat there and thought to myself, isnt the whole purpose of pagents to give girls a chance to learn self respect and confidence. To show the polished and educated side of women (okay well i may be exagerated, but im sure thats what they started out to be) I was so completley offended and disgusted that these girls dont realize they are subjecting women as objects of lust and sex symbols and NOT portraying women as respected individuals. What are they teaching other girls!

To add to the mess, the day after the winner was announced, of course inappropiate picures appeared on the internet of her being skanky. Do you see the Irony? They make it a part of the contest to take skanky pictures, and then repremend you when they appear on the internet for ones you took on your own? Idiots. What is the world coming too.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Okay...seriously, this is my confession. Today I went to the mall (i dont know why i even torture myself) but i have no self control. I went to about 5 stores. In each store I managed to find something I wanted to buy, (of course) and carried it around with me while i perused the rest of the store before intentionally buying it. Knowing how guilty i would feel if i did, i finally put it down and walked out of the store. Then I would proceed to go to the next store and do the exact same thing! You think I would just leave the mall right? Oh well i tried, I walked out to my car TWICE with intentions of leaving, only to walk back into the mall because apparently i just didnt get enough. I went back into the same 5 stores. I have PROBLEMS! Although I didnt end up buying anything, I was proud of myself for that, its still not a proud moment admitting my addiction. I guess old habits die hard. (please dont judge me after reading this) Its Pathetic!

Moms Visit

Last week my Mom came to visit for 5 days (not nearly long enough) It always flies by way too fast and I feel like we did everything and nothing at the same time. On thursday we went to Womens Conference together which was great to spend the whole day together, and we got an great workout walking all over BYU. We ate lots of yummy lunches, did a little shopping, hottubing, and we went to Jump on It where they have a building full of continous trampolines. It never ceases to amaze me that my mother can still do a back flip, front flip, hip swivel, play basketball with the men, ect..People even mistaked her as my sister!
